What year did Johnson outboards go to electronic ignition?
1974 thru 1976 : The 9.9/15hp motors have transitioned thru 4 electronic ignition systems. The first 3 years from 1974 thru 1976 has a straight magneto setup with points and condensers, but does have external coils, which are energized by what’s called a “Driver Coil” located under the flywheel.
How does a magneto work on an outboard motor?
The magneto is a self-contained generator of high voltage that provides ignition to an engine through spark plugs. A magnet—hence magneto—spins in close proximity to a coil of wire. As the magnet spins (or the magnet rotor is turned), it generates a strong magnetic force that is “held back” by a primary coil.
Does a magneto need a battery?
Because it requires no battery or other source of electrical energy, the magneto is a compact and reliable self-contained ignition system, which is why it remains in use in many general aviation applications.

With new ignition components you are installing new life into your Johnson or Evinrude outboard. Replace worn and deteriorated parts to ensure peak performance, quick starts and fun filled boating. Here you will find ignition coils, tune-up kits, spark plug and plug leads.
What is the atom electronic ignition?
In 1975, the Atom Electronic Ignition was the winner of “Invention of the Year” on the ABC-TV program, “The Inventors”. Automatically adjust the ignition timing to the same firing position as the original breaker points which other electronic modules cannot do thus prevents overheating, backfiring, engine damage, etc.
What ignition module does a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower use?
Fits all single cylinder BRIGGS & STRATTON ENGINES as used in lawnmowers, cultivators, pumps, generators, snowblowers, ride-on mowers, compact garden tractors, etc. also replaces Magnetron Transistor ignition. (For twin cylinder Briggs & Stratton engines use Module 209)
